A BELL IS A CUP UNTIL IT IS STRUCK.
Painting. What is it?
Painting is not; ‘doing the right thing’.
Painting is not; designed to impress.
Painting is not; his or hers.

This painting has been selected by Royal Academician Hurvin Anderson to be included in the 2024 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
This year 2021 I have produced a second zine, here you can see the PDF version. A paper version is also available for £4 from my shop.
I have now finished the section of the project where I talked to four different artists about their views on the use of Subject in a creative practice. So thanks to Jill Laudet, Bede Robinson, Jo Whittle and David Orme for there help and support.
I have managed to interview two of my planned four artists and hope to meet up with the third next week. It is starting to look a bit like I might be able to get all the things that I had planned done. I just need to plan two trips to places to explore the idea of collecting specific material and then do some work before producing my second Zine of work produced, by the end of this summer.
Not an Exhibition Catalogue
In 2020 I produced this zine booklet of a collection of paper drawings that are inspired by a Hound tooth Jacquard knitting pattern. In my work I use technology to work with imagery and create stencils. Jacquard card patterns are an early form of computer programming used to direct a pattern produced by a knitting or weaving machine.
You can see a copy of the zine here.
(more…)I am delighted to announce that I have been awarded a grant by Sheffield Cultural Consortium to spend some time developing my print technique.
To do this I will be working with West Yorkshire Print Workshop, who will be helping me with mentoring and practical support sessions.
(more…)I am delighted to announce that I have had a painting accepted for The Cooper Prize.
